Comparison of stability, cellular, glucose-lowering and appetite supressing effects of oxyntomodulin analogues modified at the N-terminus

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Oxyntomodulin (Oxm) possesses beneficial biological actions for the potential treatment of obesity-diabetes. However, rapid inactivation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) results in a short half-life, hindering therapeutic applicability. In the present study, six Oxm analogues namely, (Thr2)Oxm, (Asp3)Oxm, (Aib2)Oxm, (d-Ser2)Oxm, (N-acetyl)Oxm and (d-Ser2)Oxm-Lys-γ-glutamyl-PAL were synthesised and tested for DPP-4 stability and biological activity. Native Oxm, (Thr2)Oxm and (Asp3)Oxm were rapidly degraded by DPP-4, while (Aib2)Oxm, (d-Ser2)Oxm, (N-acetyl)Oxm and (d-Ser2)Oxm-Lys-γ-glutamyl-PAL were resistant to degradation. All peptides stimulated cAMP production (P
